PAULA LATU AND KAMALUHIAOLAOKALANI ELENEKE,
FILED MAY 18, 2023 [DKT 175], FILED JULY 12, 2023
Comes now Plaintiff (“Plaintiff”), by and through her attorneys,
Rosenberg McKay Hoffman and James Vernon & Weeks, pursuant to Rule 7 of Hawaii Rules of
Civil Procedure, and hereby submits her reply to Defendant Saint Louis School’s Memorandum in
Opposition to Plaintiff’s Petition for Determination of Good Faith Settlement, for settlement
agreements obtained with Defendants Jayden De Laura, Jacob De Laura Malinda Peters, Kamoi
Latu, Paula Latu and Kamaluhiaolaokalani Eleneke filed May 18, 2023, [Dkt. 175] filed on July
12, 2023 (“MIO”).
I. INTRODUCTION
Plaintiff was brutally raped on Defendant Saint Louis School’s (“SLS”) premises by two
SLS student athletes. Through private mediation, Plaintiff reached settlements with her assailants.
Based on the information available at the time of settlement, and currently, the settlements were
reached in good faith, constitute the full extent of the what the settling tortfeasors are able to pay,
and exhibit no indication of collusion or other wrongful conduct. Plaintiff’s Petition should be
granted.
2
II. ARGUMENT
Plaintiff’s Petition should be granted. SLS’ MIO misconstrues and/or misapplies the
totality of circumstances analysis for good faith settlements promulgated in Hawaii Revised
Statutes (“HRS”) § 663-15.5, and as interpreted by the Supreme Court of Hawaii in Troyer v.
Adams, 102 Hawaii 399, 77 P.3d 83 (2003). An objective totality of the circumstances analysis
establishes that the settlements were reached in good faith.
A. Plaintiff’s Settlements Meet the Good Faith Standard Established in Troyer.
The “price of a settlement alone rarely appears to be the outcome-dispositive factor
regarding a settlement’s bad faith.” Troyer, 102 Hawaii at 427, 77 P.3d at 111.
1. SLS has substantial fault.

SLS first argues the fifth, second, and sixth Troyer factors. The fifth Troyer factor enables
trial courts to consider the relative degree of fault of the settling tortfeasors. SLS argues that the
settlements represent a small fraction of the damages claimed by Plaintiff despite the settling
tortfeasors having a higher degree of relative fault than SLS. Plaintiff does not dispute that
significant liability for Plaintiff’s injuries and damages lies with Defendants Jayden De Laura
(“Jayden”) and Kamoi Latu (“Kamoi”). After all, it was Jayden and Kamoi that attacked Plaintiff
on SLS’ premises after a football game. However, SLS’ failure to have protected Plaintiff from
the violently criminal conduct of its student athletes places more liability upon SLS than SLS is
willing to acknowledge. Had SLS adequately secured its premises, adequately supervised its
student athletes, and/or adequately protected its invitees, Jayden and Kamoi would not have been
able to hurt Plaintiff. The failures that led to Plaintiff’s rape – at the hands of SLS student athletes
who were present on SLS’ premises for an SLS-sanctioned event – start and end with SLS.
Nevertheless, the “relative degree of fault” does not necessarily equate to the “relative degree of
contribution to compensation” for purposes of determining whether a settlement has been reached
3
in good faith. If it did, the Hawaii Supreme Court and/or the Hawaii State Legislature would have
said so. Here, Jayden and Kamoi and their parents have agreed to pay everything that they can
pay, and the fifth Troyer factor weighs heavily in favor of the good faith of the settlements, Jayden
and Kamoi’s (somewhat subjective) relative degree of fault and the specific “price” of the
settlements notwithstanding.
The second (the realistic approximation of total damages that the plaintiff seeks) and sixth
(the amount of consideration paid settle the claims) Troyer factors, as argued by SLS, also weigh
in favor of a determination of good faith.
In its MIO, SLS decided to disclose the amount Plaintiff demanded from SLS in mediation,
and argued that the “settlement payments of the De Laura Defendants and the Latu Defendants
combined represent less than one-tenth of the demand that Plaintiff made to SLS.” MIO at 7
(emphasis in original). As stated, and based on representations made to Plaintiff’s counsel by
counsel for the De Laura Defendants, counsel for the Latu Defendants, and by the mediator, the
De Laura and Latu Defendants are paying everything that they are able to pay. The simple fact
that neither family, nor both families together, can pay seven figures does not undermine the good
faith nature of the settlement agreements.
Plaintiff was raped as a child on the premises of a school that had invited her to be there.
The greater-than-seven-figures approximation of her damages sought is realistic. If either
Defendant family was able to pay more, Plaintiff would demand that they do. Neither Defendant
family can. But the settlements were reached in good faith, even if each is admittedly too low.
The settlements are too low due to the limited means of the Defendant families, and not due to any
type of bad faith. The second and sixth Troyer factors weigh in favor of a good faith determination.
4
2. SLS has offered no evidence of “ongoing income sources.”
SLS argues “Jayden disclosed that he ‘receives subsidies for rent, food, utilities, college
books, gas and other living expenses in the amount of $8,000 per month from the Friends of
Wilbur and Wilma.’” MIO at 9 (emphasis in original). But SLS offers no information as to
Jayden’s monthly expenses. Moreover, there is a question as to how long the subsidies will last.
What if Jayden gets hurt or in some form of legal trouble and the subsidies cease to be provided to
him. SLS’ argument with respect to Jayden’s purported ability to pay more is not practical. Most
importantly, the De Laura and Latu Defendants have represented that the current settlement
agreements constitute everything that the Defendant families can pay, and there is no evidence to
dispute that representation.
SLS argues that Jayden’s parents have disclosed a combined income of over $100,000.
MIO at 9. According to a March 16, 2023 article on CBS News, “in the priciest locales – New
York, San Francisco and Honolulu – $100,000 buys you the same quality of life as someone
making $36,000 per year almost anywhere else in the nation.” 1 SLS did not expand upon its
statement with respect to the De Laura parents’ combined income. If the implication is that the
De Laura parents can pay more based on a roughly $36,000 adjusted-for-the-cost-of-living annual
income, then the response is: Actually no, they cannot.
SLS then argues that Kamoi’s father’s business showed gross profits of $71,938 in 2021
and Kamoi’s mother does not work. MIO at 9. If Kamoi’s father’s business generated $71,938 in
profits in 2021, then it is safe to conclude that Kamoi’s father took home less than that. SLS
acknowledges that Kamoi’s mother does not work. The Latu parents do not have any additional

funds to contribute to a larger settlement than they have already promised. SLS’ argument with
regard to “continuing income streams that could be used to make settlement payments over time”
is not based in reality. Neither family has any applicable insurances.
Accordingly, the seventh Troyer factor (the insurance policy limits and solvency of the
joint tortfeasors) weighs in favor of a finding of good faith.
3. The settlements will simplify the litigation and reduce expenses.
Litigation involving one defendant will be simpler than litigation involving seven
defendants. Litigation involving one defendant will be less expensive than litigation involving
seven defendants. It is rather curious that SLS would contend otherwise, but yet it has.
SLS then strays beyond the boundaries of eyebrow-raising curiousness and into the realm
of the deeply offensive and disrespectful with its statement that “the question of whether Plaintiff
was assaulted or engaged willingly in a sexual encounter will need to be determined even if the
case proceeds only against SLS.” MIO at 11. SLS is aware that Jayden and Kamoi pled guilty to
raping Plaintiff. SLS has in its possession the direct/text messaging screenshots wherein Jayden
apologizes for forcing Plaintiff to engage in sexual acts with him and Kamoi, and wherein Jayden
laments at having jeopardized his future by raping Plaintiff with Kamoi. There is no question as
to whether Plaintiff was sexually assaulted. SLS is grasping at straws in an ineffective attempt to
support a contention that cannot hold water. The settlement agreements will simplify the litigation
and reduce expenses.
4. HRS § 663-15.5 results in the dismissal of all cross-claims against settling joint
tortfeasors.
HRS § 663-15.5(d) provides a determination by the court that a settlement was made in
good faith shall:
6
(1) Bar any other joint tortfeasor or co-obligor from any further claims
against the settling tortfeasor or co-obligor, except those based on a
written indemnity agreement; and
(2) Result in a dismissal of all cross-claims filed against the settling joint
tortfeasor or co-obligor, except those based on a written indemnity
agreement.
The Petition does not seek to extinguish SLS’ cross-claim against Plaintiff’s mother. The Petition
simply seeks the dismissal of all cross-claims filed against the settling joint tortfeasors as
authorized by law.
Plaintiff’s discovery requests included a request for “[c]opies of all documents [SLS]
possess[es] containing information about Defendant Jayden De Laura and Defendant Kamoi
Latu,” and included a request for “[c]opies of all documents reflecting the relationship between
[SLS] and any other named defendant, including any legal or financial relationship,” (emphasis
added) 2. Despite these requests, SLS has not produced any evidence in support of written
indemnity agreements.
Even if SLS had evidence of written indemnity agreements, it would not result in a finding
of bad faith with respect to the settlement agreements. It would only mean that SLS’ cross-claims
against the settling Defendants could persist beyond the settlements. The currently-unsupported-
by-any-evidence existence of written indemnity agreements would have no impact on whether the
agreements were reached in good faith. They were, and the Petition should be granted.
5. Plaintiff’s allegations are true and her claim against SLS is strong.
SLS argues the third Troyer factor (the strength of the plaintiff’s claim and the realistic
likelihood of his or her success at trial) and asserts that Plaintiff’s negligence claim against SLS
has serious deficiencies. MIO at 14. SLS asserts that it had no special relationship with Plaintiff,
who was never a student and had no relationship with the school. Id.
2
See Exhibit 2.
7
SLS is wrong. Plaintiff was present on SLS premises on the night of the subject rape as a
business invitee, giving rise to a special relationship and conferring a duty upon SLS to protect
Plaintiff from the criminal actions of its student athletes. Plaintiff, her mother, and Plaintiff’s
friend purchased tickets to attend the Interscholastic League of Honolulu’s (“ILH”) championship
high school varsity football game at Aloha Stadium. See Third Amended Complaint (“TAC”) Dkt.
83 at ¶ 13. Upon information and belief, SLS derived direct financial benefit from its participation
in the ILH through ticket proceeds from the games. Id. Moreover, the SLS Parent/Student
Handbook 2018-2019 for Grades 6-12 provides on page 44 at ¶ 6 that “[s]pectators are expected
to contribute positively to the educational/athletic experiences of our students.” 3 On the night of
the assault, Plaintiff was informed by one of the players that supporters would have to drive to
SLS to present leis to the players after the players showered and came out of the locker room.
TAC at ¶ 14. Pursuant to the Restatement (Second) of Torts §§ 314A and 316-320, a possessor of
land who holds it open to the public is under a similar duty to members of the public who enter in
response to his invitation, as a common carrier is under to its passengers and as an innkeeper is
under to its guests. This special-relationship duty requires the possessor of land to control and
protect against the criminal conduct of third parties. Id.
Additionally, SLS had an obligation to control the conduct of Jayden and Kamoi as student
athletes. Pursuant to its handbook, SLS assumed “total jurisdiction concerning the conduct and
behavior in school, on school property, at all school sponsored events and activities, as well as

on the way to and from school.” 4 Further, again pursuant to its own handbook, SLS students were
not permitted to be in any “off-limits” areas, “unless accompanied or supervised by authorized
school personnel.” 5 These “off-limits” areas included “the parking structure.” Id.
By SLS’ own rules and self-imposed duty, Jayden, Kamoi, and Plaintiff should not have
been in the parking structure unless accompanied or supervised by authorized school personnel.
SLS knew it was customary for paying supporters to present lei after games. SLS knew
supporters would have to return to campus to present lei. SLS had rules against students being
unsupervised in the parking structure. SLS knew student football players and members of the
public would be present in the parking structure following the ILH championship football game
on October 27, 2018. SLS failed to supervise the parking structure in violation of the duty it
conferred upon itself, and in violation of its duty to Plaintiff borne out of the special relationship
between Plaintiff and SLS. Plaintiff’s case against SLS is strong, and the Petition should be
granted.
6. Troyer factors eight and nine weigh in favor of good faith.
The eighth Troyer factor enables the trial court to consider the relationship among the
parties and whether it is conducive to collusion or wrongful conduct, and the ninth Troyer factor
enables the trial court to consider any other evidence that the settlement is aimed at injuring the
interests of a non-settling tortfeasor or motivated by other wrongful purpose.

3.

There is no relationship among the settling parties. There was no collusion. There was no
wrongful conduct. Plaintiff has reached the settlement agreements with the settling joint
tortfeasors in good faith, on the advice of respective counsel to all settling parties, and with the
assistance of a very experienced and highly respected mediator. SLS attempts to argue that a non-
disparagement clause and a cooperation provision in the settlement agreements constitute “indicia
of collusion.” But that is simply not true. Non-disparagement provisions are routinely included
in settlement release agreements in personal injury cases, and as Plaintiff’s claims against SLS will
persist beyond the settlement agreements, truthful testimony from Jayden will be required during
litigation. Plaintiff’s desire for assurances from Jayden that Jayden will testify truthfully does not
indicate collusion. SLS is again grasping at nonexistent straws, and the Petition should be granted.
B. SLS’ Cross-Claims Against The Settling Tortfeasors Should Be Extinguished

By A Determination That The Settlements Were Reached In Good Faith.
As stated, HRS § 663-15.5(d) provides that a determination by the court that a settlement
was made in good faith shall result in a dismissal of all cross-claims filed against the settling joint
tortfeasor and bar any other joint tortfeasor from any further claims against the settling tortfeasor.
Despite Plaintiff’s discovery requests for such information, SLS has not produced any evidence of
a written indemnity agreement between it and any of the settling tortfeasors. Accordingly, SLS’
cross-claims against the settling joint tortfeasors should be dismissed.
III. CONCLUSION
For the foregoing reasons, and based upon the records and files herein, and oral argument
to be made at hearing, Plaintiff respectfully requests that this Court grant her Petition, find that
the subject settlements were reached in good faith, dismiss all cross-claims between the settling
tortfeasors, and provide such additional relief deemed just and appropriate under the
circumstances.

ABOUT SAINT LOUIS SCHOOL
The Mission of Saint Louis School

To educate and challenge students of various religious,
ethnic, and economic backgrounds that they may
achieve a quality education and become gentlemen of
character, reaching individual potential through the
Catholic Marianist tradition of spiritual, academic, physical and emotional maturity.
Accreditation
Saint Louis School is accredited through June 30, 2019 by the:
 Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC)
 Hawaii Association of Independent Schools (HAIS)
 Western Catholic Educational Association (WCEA)
History
Saint Louis School is the successor of the College of Ahuimanu, formerly in Windward Oahu,
founded in 1846 by the Catholic Mission under the direction of the Fathers of the Sacred Hearts
of Jesus and Mary. In 1881, the school moved to its second location adjacent to Washington
Place, now the Governor's residence. At that time the name "College of St. Louis" was given to
the institution in honor of Bishop Louis Maigret's patron saint, Louis IX.
Growing enrollment soon required the Mission Fathers to relocate the school to Kamakela
along Nuuanu Stream, and the College was placed under the direction of five pioneer Brothers
of Mary (Marianists) who arrived from Dayton, Ohio in 1883.
In the years following, it became evident that the elementary and high school departments
were in need of still larger quarters. Encouraged by parents and alumni, the Marianists laid
plans for a greater St. Louis College. In the 1920s, land was purchased and plans were
developed for moving to the present location. Classes began on Kalaepohaku ridge in
September 1928.
After sixty-seven years of providing education at grade levels one through twelve, the
elementary and intermediate grades were withdrawn one grade a year beginning in 1950. The
Marianists established Chaminade College in 1955 on the east end of the campus. High school
classes continued on campus until 1979 when the school's Board of Trustees voted to
re-incorporate intermediate grades seven and eight which began in the fall of 1980. Then in the
fall semester of 1990 grade six was added and the intermediate grades were converted to a
Middle School. In the new millennium, the school began a sequential expansion to include a full
elementary school. The Clarence T.C. Ching Learning and Technology Center was completed
and dedicated in spring 2011 to house an expanded curricular program; fine arts, performing
arts, music, multi-media and business leadership courses.
1
Tradition
Saint Louis School students are encouraged to become brothers, part of a greater family, which
includes the entire staff of the school. This greater family is a component of a worldwide family
of Christian people.
This Catholic Marianist tradition lies at the very heart of the school through the dedication of
the Marianists. These devout men and women have dedicated their lives to God, vowing to
follow the example of Christ, including his devotion to celibacy, poverty and spiritual growth.
The Marianists recognize the strong influence of Mary as the mother of Christ and share in her
compassion for all people.
The Catholic Marianist activities extend far beyond the individual dedication to their religion.
The Saint Louis family is just one of the special communities through which they achieve their
goals by expanding their teachings to a wider horizon.
The Blessed William Joseph Chaminade laid the foundations of the Marianists during the
turbulent time of the French Revolution. Within his lifetime the Marianists extended their work
from France to several European countries and to the United States in 1849. Now there are 16
provinces of the Society in all parts of the world. The Marianists in Hawaii belong to the
Province of the United States with headquarters in St. Louis, Missouri. The General
Administration of the Society of Mary is based in Rome.
The Marianists are committed to the development and growth of Christian influence, helping
people to an understanding of apostolic faith in relationship to the needs and customs of the
times. They impart a positive attitude in conveying their beliefs with a purpose of establishing a
sense of peace and justice for all people. Their influence on the entire community of Saint Louis
is a positive one that leads to harmony, enrichment and spiritual growth.
Philosophy
Saint Louis School is a community of students, parents, faculty, staff and administration
dedicated to the formation of mature and integrated students committed to their faith, family,
culture and global community.
Although an ecumenical faith community, our curriculum is firmly rooted in the Catholic
Marianist faith, welcoming and respecting other beliefs. We seek to meet the varied needs,
talents and abilities of our students through academic programs of critical thinking and
experienced learning designed for general, college preparatory and advanced students.
We seek to build community within the classroom setting, as well as through extracurricular,
cultural and social activities in the areas of sports, Campus Ministry and ethnic programs.
As a faith community of various abilities, ethnic backgrounds and socio-economic conditions,

we strive to assist our students as they develop their values in a changing culture, master the
2
skills needed to achieve a successful life and develop the leadership qualities needed to
contribute positively in building a just society.
Vision Statement
A Saint Louis graduate will demonstrate the requisite academic skills necessary to lead and
compete in the global marketplace, while exhibiting Catholic Marianist ideals to impact society
in a meaningful way.
Alma Mater Hymn

(words by Bro. Emeric Bratt, S.M., Music by Prof. Erich Kahl)

Proclaims the blessing of our fondest hope
And heralds the praises of a glorious name.
Chorus:
Long may Hawaii’s tropic breeze
Unfurl your Red and Blue
And He who guides our destinies
Our hearts keep true to you
(Repeat chorus)

THE CHARACTERISTICS OF MARIANIST EDUCATION (CMEs)
The Society of Mary, through serious research, consultation, and discussion involving lay and
religious educators who work in Marianist educational ministries throughout the world, has
developed five educational characteristics it pledges to uphold and promote in its institutions.
These five characteristics are:
I. Educate for Formation in Faith
 Ignite a faith and commitment that touches the heart.
 Have the teachings of the Gospel be inviting and embraced by the student.
 Instruct students in Christian attitudes and instill an understanding of the Gospel's

values.
 Educate for a freedom of choice and a responsibility that guarantee an authentic

response in faith.
 Reaffirm the belief and commitment of Chaminade's words “Christianity can be lived
today as in the early day, of the church.”
 Teach the history about the example and influence of Mary as the first disciple and as an
educator in faith.
II. Provide an Integral, Quality Education
 Promote quality education of the whole person.
 Provide coherent curricula: a well-formed professional administration, faculty and staff;

and adequate facilities and finances.
 Develop respect for the dignity of the person as a daughter or son of God, unique
and individual.
 Develop a self-knowledge emanating from the spirit within using Chaminade's advice
when he said, "The essential is the interior."
 Develop a concern for global and local issues of culture, ecology and the use of
technology.
 Foster a diverse faculty and staff as well as a diverse student body.
4
 Recognize Mary as a model of integrating inner depth with the realities of the
outside world.
III. Educate In Family Spirit
 Create a favorable and beneficial environment for education.
 Form interpersonal relationships characterized by respect, honesty and dialogue.
 Create personal, direct and cordial relations within the educational community.
 Form an educational community with collaborative structures and processes.
 Express authority as a loving and dedicated service.
 Influence others by exhibiting the Marian traits of openness, hospitality, graciousness

and faith.
IV. Educate For Service, Justice & Peace
 Promote a missionary spirit for God's will. As Chaminade said, “We are all missionaries."
 Educate for justice and peace, solidarity and nonviolence.
 Attend to the poor and those needing assistance. Promote the dignity and rights of
women.
 Promote programs of service, encouraging the formation of Christian service groups.
V. Educate For Adaptation and Change
 “New times call for new methods,” Chaminade said. Educate to shape the future.
 Educate people to accept and respect differences in a pluralistic society.
 Develop critical thinking skills in the search for truth.
 Be open and adapt to local and global contexts through cultural and interdisciplinary
education.

CAMPUS MAP
CAMPUS INFORMATION
School Hours
The campus is officially open 7:00am - 4:00pm. While building gates are open at 6:00am, we
recommend dropping off your son(s) no earlier than 6:45am. Breakfast is available in the
student dining room from 6:30am - 7:20am. During the school day, all visitors must check in at
the Main Office, located on the 2nd Floor of Bertram Hall, for authorization to be on campus.
NOTE: All Chaminade University of Honolulu facilities are off limits to Saint Louis School
students unless prior approval from the SLS administration has been granted.
Safety
Safety does not happen by accident. Students are advised that any behavior that compromises
the safety of self and others is prohibited. Running in the buildings, horseplay, sitting on lanai
walls or any activity that could result in a serious injury is not allowed. Students are urged to
use caution when ascending or descending stairs, especially during rainy weather, and to use
handrails whenever possible. Use lighted walkways after dark.
Lockers
Saint Louis School is not responsible for items lost or stolen from lockers. The school is also not
responsible for items left in lockers after during breaks e.g. summer, fall, spring, winter or after
a student has withdrawn or transfers to another school. Students are responsible for keeping
6
lockers clean and free of graffiti. Students will be held liable for any damages to their lockers.
With reasonable suspicion, the Administration has the right to search any student’s locker.
Cafeteria
The cafeteria is operated by a contractor, Aramark Corporation. All inquiries regarding meal
plans, prices, menus, etc. should be addressed to the Cafeteria Manager, phone (808) 739-
4621.
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES: PARENT/GUARDIAN EXPECTATIONS
Saint Louis School has a responsibility to prepare for crisis situations; however, SLS parents
have a responsibility as well. Specific responsibilities that would promote a coordinated effort
between home and school include:
 Submit and update current emergency information to the Registrar.

 Read and discuss with son all information concerning safety procedures sent home
from school.
 Routinely counsel son on safety precautions.
 Make arrangements for supervision of children during an early or unexpected
release from school.
 Exercise judgment: If a parent/guardian feels sending a child to school is dangerous,
supervise the son at home, regardless of school decisions.
 Follow appropriate communication procedures understanding that parents will be
informed through radio and television, etc.
 Inform the school office of potential emergency situations and other unsafe
conditions.
 Attend information programs offered by the school concerning safety issues.
 Refrain from calling the school in time of emergency so that phone lines can be
used for emergency calls to the outside community.
Evacuations and Drills

Students will be evacuated to designated site or McCabe Gym, depending on the nature of the
incident/drill. Students are to leave the buildings quickly and orderly via the designated
route/exit. Teachers and staff will direct the students along the evacuation route. Attendance
will be taken at the mustering location. If McCabe Gym is designated, students are to assemble
with their respective homeroom teacher or division advisor and roll will be taken. Students
causing false alarms or using phones to make terroristic threats are liable for immediate
expulsion and criminal prosecution. Emergency procedures are posted in classrooms.
7
Inclement Weather
Once the school administration deems weather conditions hazardous to suspend classes,
appropriate announcements will be made via the school’s notification systems. If this occurs
prior to the 7:30 am opening time, parents are to arrange to keep their sons at home.
If school closes early due to inclement weather, students are required to return home
preferably by the same method of transportation in which they arrived at school. Designated
school employees will remain on campus until all students have vacated the premises.
ACADEMIC INFORMATION
The foundation of any school rests upon a sound and relevant academic curriculum. Saint Louis
School offers a college preparatory curriculum. The course catalog outlines the various course
offerings that constitute the academic program for grades 6 through 12.
The Honors Program

In addition to the regular program, Saint Louis School students may enroll in Honors and
Advanced Placement courses.
 Honors classes offer the same curriculum as regular classes but are tailored for high-
achieving students and cover additional topics or some topics in greater depth.
 Advanced Placement (AP) courses are college level courses that prepare students for the
College Board Advanced Placement exams. An exam score of 3 or above (on a five point
scale) may earn the student college level credit at participating colleges and universities.
Students enrolled in AP classes must take the AP exam in May in order to receive the
weighted grade for the course.
 If a student passes an AP exam with a 3, 4 or a 5 prior to his senior year, his second
semester grade may be changed. A Student who achieves a score of at least a 3 on his
AP exam will receive no lower than a “C” for his second semester grade and his final
year grade. A Student who achieves a 4 or a 5 on their AP exam will receive an “A” for
the second semester and his final year grade. Scholarships and awards given prior to
the grade change will not be altered. However, class rankings and the cumulative grade
point average will be adjusted, as needed, to reflect the changes.
Students are expected to consult with their counselor and parents/guardians during the
registration process to ensure that their course of study provides the best possible path to
support their post-secondary plans.
 Preliminary registration for continuing students – held mid-spring for the upcoming
school year
 Registration for new students – coordinated by the Director of Admissions and the
Counseling and Guidance Department

Academic Credit
Students receive academic credit for courses taken at Saint Louis School and passed with a
minimum grade of “D”. High school students can only proceed to the next level course with a
minimum grade of “C” for courses in the English, Math, and World Language departmental
categories.
Courses taken outside of Saint Louis School are reflected on the transcript but are not included
in the cumulative grade point average (CGPA).
10
Grading Policy
Students are expected to put forth maximum effort and take full advantage of opportunities for
moral, physical, and intellectual growth. Grades measure student progress and provide
parents, teachers, colleges, and employers with information regarding student performance.
Grades help teachers communicate the progress regarding the knowledge, concepts and skills
students have learned in relation to course expectations and objectives. Departmental and
individual teacher grading practices are outlined in the course syllabi. Parents and students
who have questions should contact the teacher, department chair or the School Principal for
clarification.
Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA)

The cumulative grade point average (CGPA) is computed at the end of each semester beginning
with the Saint Louis School summer session immediately proceeding the entry year. Each letter
grade has a numerical equivalent. Honors and AP (advanced placement) courses receive extra
weight. Points for grades earned are added and divided by the total number of courses taken
to determine the CGPA.
 The CGPA is computed on the basis of academic work completed at Saint Louis School.
 Grades for courses taken during the summer at Saint Louis will be incorporated in the
computation of the CGPA in the consecutive fall semester.
Class Rank
Class rank is calculated in order of highest to lowest cumulative grade point average; qualifying
students having seven consecutive semesters completed at Saint Louis High School. Priority is
given to students with more AP classes, all other categories being equal. Final ranking is
determined and approved by SLS administration.
Computation of Grade Point Average (GPA)

 The GPA is computed by adding the points earned in each course at the semester then
dividing by the number of courses. Year grades are not factored in to GPA calculations.
 Only grades for courses taken at Saint Louis will be used for the computation of the GPA
and CGPA. The Administration will determine whether course credit from another
school will be recognized and counted toward graduation.
 Students with fewer than 20 credits earned by the end of their junior year may not
return to Saint Louis School without approval of the Administration.

Definitions of Grades as Measures of Student Achievement
A Student work goes significantly beyond the basics and demonstrates mastery of curriculum
standards and course expectations.
B Student work goes beyond the basics and demonstrates consistent mastery of curriculum
standards and course expectations.
C Student work meets minimum expectations, satisfies course requirements, and is sufficient for
continued study in the discipline.
12
D Student work approaches minimum expectations and demonstrates below average
understanding of curriculum standards and course expectations.
(A student who earns a grade of “D” may not automatically proceed to a subsequent course.)
F Student work is insufficient to demonstrate understanding of the curriculum standards and

course expectations. (A student who earns a grade of “F” may not automatically repeat the
course during the summer. Approval from administration is required)
I Student work does not fulfill the requirements of the course. The “I” grade is calculated as 0
grade points for the purpose of academic eligibility requirements. The student must make up
this work within two weeks from the end of the quarter, during which time he may be ineligible
for all extra-curricular activities contingent upon GPA calculations. Failure to make up the
incomplete work may result in an “F” for the course. Incomplete grades are not given for the
last grading period of the school year.
W Withdrawn from the course
WF Withdrawn with a grade of 55% of lower
AU Audit (no credit is earned for an audited course)
CR Credit (student work meets or exceeds the minimum expectations, satisfies course
requirements and is sufficient for continued study in the discipline; may not be elected for
required courses)
NC No Credit (student work does not meet the minimum expectations)
Maintaining Open Lines of Communication

Open lines of communication ensure that students, parents and teachers share a common
understanding of student progress. Parents/guardians are encouraged to contact counselors
and/or teachers at any time during the course of the school year.
Report Cards (Progress Reports)

Grades are available online to students and parents/guardians throughout and at the
completion of each quarter. Access to grades is through Family Link. Report cards are made
available during the academic year as emailed digital documents at request of parent to either
view or print at their convenience. Otherwise access to grades is through Family Link. The
hardcopy year-end final report card is mailed to all families.
13
ACADEMIC POLICIES
Course Load
Students are required to enroll in seven courses each semester [Directed Study courses do not
count toward fulfillment of this requirement]. Students enrolled in two or more advanced
placement (AP) courses may be exempted from this policy with administrative approval
[Directed Study courses do not count toward fulfillment of this requirement]. Students with 23
or more credits prior to the start of their senior year [22 for SY 2016-17] and a cumulative GPA
of at least 3.0 may qualify for a non-academic period with approval of the Director of the Upper
School.
Schedule Changes and Course Withdrawals

Schedule changes are discouraged and require approval from the Director of Records. If a
student/parent requesting a course transfer occurs after the first Grade Check Report of the 1st
Quarter, all affected teachers must approve. Additionally, a course transfer fee of $20 per
moved course shall apply.
Repeated Courses
Grades from a repeated course(s) are not printed twice on the transcript. The higher grade will
appear on the transcript and is computed in the GPA.
ACADEMIC PROBATION/ELIGIBILITY/STUDENT CONTRACT
Academic Probation and Eligibility
Start of School Year (First Quarter)
Academic probation is determined by those who have received less than a 2.0 and/or received
2 or more Fs for the preceding Quarter 4 and Semester 2. Students placed on Academic
Probation at the start of the school year shall be eligible to participate in extracurricular
activities until the first grade check report scheduled for Quarter 1. Their continued
participation for the remainder of Quarter 1 will be determined by regular grade check reports.
If the student falls below 2.0 and/or has two or more Fs during the grade check period, he will
be ineligible to participate until his grades meet the minimum qualifications during the
subsequent grade check report and/or posted quarter grades.
At the beginning of the school year all students, except those on Academic Probation, shall be
eligible to participate in all school extracurricular activities. Students who have received at least
a 2.0 and who have not received two or more Fs in the preceding Quarter 4 or Semester 2 at
Saint Louis School, are eligible until the Quarter 1 grades are posted with no restrictions.
14
Quarters 2-4
All other eligibility during the school year will be determined by using quarter/semester grades.
The school will take the higher of the quarter or semester grades to determine eligibility. Those
who fall below 2.0 and/or receive two or more Fs will be immediately ineligible to participate at
beginning of the next quarter. Eligibility will then be determined using the Grade Check
procedures set forth above.
Counselors will monitor progress of all students placed on Academic Probation/ Student
Contract.
The procedure for review of the status of ineligible students:
 The GCR is generated upon authorization by the Registrar, who will notify the Athletic
Department. The Athletic Department will also notify the coaches of ineligible athletes.
 The student ineligibility list will be communicated to faculty. Club and activity advisors are
responsible for ensuring student eligibility prior to participation in their respective
activities.
 Grade Check Reports will be done twice a quarter. Grade Check dates will be posted on
Family Link.
Failed Courses/Student Academic Plan

Any student who fails a graduation required course must retake the failed course and complete
it with a passing grade and/or receive a minimum C grade if they need to proceed to the next
level course. The counselor and school administration will review the student’s record to
determine a course of action. A student with multiple failures may be placed on a student
academic plan or face dismissal from the school.
After School Learning Support Program

The After School Learning Support Program provides additional time for students to seek
assistance from teachers and other students. Activities include peer tutoring, small group and
one-to-one work with teachers, directed study and other activities as are appropriate to
support student achievement.
The after school program is part of the school day. With exception of official league events,
after school learning support sessions take precedence over extracurricular activities. Student
employment and other commitments should begin after the end of the after school program
session if there is a conflict in scheduling.
Promotion to the Next Grade Level

In order to be assigned to the next grade level students must have accumulated the following
number of credits:
15
Grade 9 6
Grade 10 13
Grade 11 20
* A Middle School student with two or more failed courses may be asked to repeat the grade
level or withdraw from school.
Successful completion of a semester course earns a half-credit (0.5). Successful completion of a

year course earns a full credit (1.0). Participation in division activities is contingent on
accumulation of the required credits.
Community Service Learning Requirement

High school students must complete and provide documentation of a total 80 community
service hours to earn a diploma. Of these 80 hours, 50 must qualify as H.E.E.D.S. hours. (A Saint
Louis Man HEEDS the call: directly servicing the homeless, elderly, environment, disadvantaged,
or sick). Students who do not complete and properly document the required 80 hours of service
may not receive a diploma nor be allowed to participate in the graduation ceremony. The
required minimum total of 80 hours must be earned in increments at each grade-level year; i.e.,
a student may not fulfill the total service learning requirement during one contiguous session.
6th Grade - Must complete and document five hours of community service by April 30 of their
6th grade year.
7th Grade – Must complete and document 10 hours of community service by April 30 of their
7th grade year.
8th Grade- Must complete and document 15 hours of community service by April 30 of their 8th
grade year.
Freshmen - Must complete and document 20 hours of community service hours including 5
HEEDS hours by April 30 of their freshman year.
Sophomores - Must complete and document 20 hours of community service hours including 10
HEEDS hours by April 30 of their sophomore year.
Juniors - Must complete all 20 hours of community service by April 30 of their junior year,
including 15 HEEDS hours.
Seniors - Must complete all 20 HEEDS hours of community service by April 30 their senior year.
Failure to complete the annual Community Service Learning requirement will deem a senior
16
ineligible for participation in the graduation ceremony and will suspend the awarding of his
diploma.
The deadline for documentation and completion of the 20-hour requirement per year is April
30 of that current Academic School Year. All hours must be properly documented on either the
sponsoring agency’s letterhead or on the Saint Louis School Community Service Contract form,
and must be posted electronically to the student’s Naviance account.
Community service must be performed for non-profit organizations outside of school hours.
For students in grades 9 to 12, services performed for Saint Louis School or organizations
within the school will not be accepted.
Summer Reading Program

Each student is required to participate in the school’s summer reading program. Students will
be evaluated on their comprehension of readings upon their return to school in August; the
resulting score will be computed into the first quarter grade. Any exceptions must have the
written approval of Administration.
Academic Honors
Students are encouraged to engage fully in their academic pursuits. Honor students must:
 Have semester grades of “C” or higher

 Have a minimum GPA of 3.14
Honor Roll 3.14 to 3.66 semester GPA
Principal’s List 3.67 to 3.99 semester GPA
President’s List 4.0+ semester GPA
Valedictorian and Salutatorian

The positions of salutatorian and valedictorian are the highest honors available to Saint Louis
students. To be considered for these positions, students must:
 Have completed the past seven high school semesters at Saint Louis School
 Be classified as a senior in the seventh semester
 Demonstrated good conduct and behavior
 Have completed Advanced Placement and Honors classes
17
Valedictorian – The Valedictorian is the senior who:
o has earned the highest cumulative grade point average in his division
o has earned the most Advanced Placement (AP) and Honors credits
o has met all community service requirements
If class standing is equal, the Administration reserves the right to recognize more than
one Valedictorian.
Salutatorian – The Salutatorian is the senior who:
o has earned the second-highest cumulative grade point average

o has earned Advanced Placement (AP) and Honors credits
If class standing is equal, the Administration reserves the right to recognize more than
one Salutatorian.
National Honor Society/National Junior Honor Society – Students are selected as members of
the Saint Louis School Chapter of the National Honor Society (NHS) and the National Junior
Honor Society (NJHS) based on their outstanding performance in the areas of scholarship (GPA
of 3.5 or higher), service, leadership, and character. The selection process begins immediately
after the posting of third quarter grades. Students meeting the GPA criterion and other
attributes based on faculty evaluation are invited to complete the NHS/NJHS Student Activity
Information Form. The Administration then examines all supporting documents and makes
recommendations to the Directors of Lower and High Schools. New members are inducted in
the fourth quarter. As members of the NHS/NJHS, students provide peer tutoring, engage in a
personal service project, and participate in service activities that benefit the school or
community at large.
Graduation with Honors

A student will be recognized as Honor’s Graduate if upon completion of their final semester
they have attained at least a 3.85 cumulative grade point average with no semester grade
below a B and completed at least five Advanced Placement courses.
Graduation (Grade 12)

The Saint Louis School diploma is an esteemed document and is upheld as an honor and
privilege. Graduation or commencement is a traditional school ceremony for conferring
diplomas to graduating seniors in the presence of their invited family and friends. It is the
school’s way of honoring each student who has completed all academic requirements for
graduation and has met his community service and financial obligations to the school.
Participation in the Commencement is a privilege.
The Saint Louis School administration has the responsibility to ensure that the Commencement
is a safe, dignified, and memorable event for all participants and guests. For this reason, the
18
school may revoke a student’s participation privilege if the student poses a risk to the safety,
order, and decorum of the Commencement. Seniors must have:
 acquired a minimum of 26 credits (26.5 beginning 2019)

 failed no more than one graduation required course
 completed community service hours
 be in good standing with Saint Louis (any disciplinary matters must be cleared prior to
graduation)
 cleared all financial obligations
 returned any/all equipment to the appropriate department
 completed all mandatory practice sessions
Students who fulfill all graduation requirements [academic, financial, behavioral] as required
will have earned the privilege of receiving their diploma certificate from SLS Administration.
COUNSELING AND GUIDANCE
Programs and Policies

Counseling services help students take maximum advantage of the educational opportunities
available at Saint Louis and plan realistically for post high school education and training.
Counselors rely on an understanding and appreciation for each individual student, and assist in
fostering optimum growth and a sense of responsibility. The counselor will encourage the
student to understand the needs of others and to respect teachers, classmates, family and the
Catholic teachings that he receives at Saint Louis.
College Admissions and Scholarship Counseling

Students intent on applying for competitive universities should maintain a CGPA (cumulative
grade point average) of 3.0 or higher. With the College Counselor, students work on a resume,
attend on-campus college admissions presentations, and complete their college applications.
College admissions materials and financial aid programs are available in the Counseling &
Guidance Department. Students are encouraged to make appointments with the College
Counselor well in advance of application deadlines.
Counseling Interviews
Each academic year, students are assigned a qualified counselor who is available to discuss
scholastic as well as personal issues. Students are encouraged to seek the assistance of their
counselor throughout the year, and are scheduled to meet with the counselor at least once
each semester to discuss their academic progress, to plan future courses and to review test
data.
19
Matters of a more personal or social nature may also be brought up for discussion. The
counselor may refer a student or his parents to appropriate agencies or professional
practitioners outside of the school. Counselors may design special programs for students who
experiencing difficulty. Student confidentiality will be respected unless the teacher and/or
counselor believe that the health and/or safety of a student are at risk. Such cases will be
referred to appropriate personnel.
Group Guidance Sessions

When information or discussions of general content are to be provided to several students
simultaneously, a group guidance session may be initiated by the counselor. Several students, a
designated class, a homeroom, or even a division may be convened by the counselor. This
applies to Career Day programs, college admission talks and similar events scheduled
throughout the school year.
Testing
Various tests and inventories are administered during the year to enable students, parents,
counselors and teachers to obtain objective data regarding a student's academic achievement,
scholastic aptitude, attitudes and career interests as well as other related areas.
STANDARD CODE OF STUDENT CONDUCT
Saint Louis School seeks to educate the whole person – spiritually, academically, socially and
morally in a Catholic Marianist framework. Disciplined behavior and mutual respect are the
foundations of academic achievement and moral development. Every Saint Louis man must
subscribe to this philosophy. Student behavior must be consistent with school expectations.
All students are expected to display a high degree of self-discipline and personal responsibility.
Specifically, each member of the student body is expected to:
• be respectful, polite and courteous to all persons in positions of responsibility and authority;
• respect the dignity, rights, and freedoms of fellow students;
• recognize, honor and respect the ethnic, cultural and racial diversity of the student body;
• respect the property of others and the school;
• be attentive, responsive, and courteous in assemblies, rallies, and meetings;
• be sensitive and responsive to those less fortunate and in need;
• actively contribute to the learning process and the academic environment necessary for it;
• follow the rules and norms in the classroom as identified in the class syllabus;
• be punctual at all times;
• conduct himself in such a manner as to positively reflect on himself, his family, and SLS at all
times in all situations (both during the school day and outside of school).
Any behavior that is not consistent with the expectations set forth above may result in
dismissal, suspension or other disciplinary action at the sole discretion of the school.
20
SCHOOL JURISDICTION
SLS has total jurisdiction concerning the conduct and behavior in school, on school property, at
all school sponsored events and activities, as well as on the way to and from school.
Furthermore, a student’s conduct at any time, even away from school and school related
activities, reflects upon SLS, and may affect his standing as a member of the SLS community.
DRUG FREE SCHOOL POLICY

Following the tradition of Christian education, Saint Louis School has committed its students,
faculty and staff to adopting and maintaining an environment that is drug free. It is through the
conscientious efforts of all involved that we promulgate this "drug-free" policy within our
school and at all student- related functions and activities.
DRUG-FREE SCHOOL STATEMENT: A student is never to use, sell, provide, offer to trade,
transport or transmit any substance, or participate in any activity, relating to illegal drugs,
prescription drugs, alcohol, or tobacco or to be in possession of any item deemed as drug
paraphernalia including vapor or e-cigarettes while on campus or at any school function or
event, or en route to and from school or any school event. Teachers/staff/supervisors that
confiscate any aforementioned substances and paraphernalia, as well as any found items of this
nature should be reported to the School Principal or to the nearest appropriate school
personnel.
PREVENTION: Every student is required to successfully complete a one-semester health course

in which substance abuse and drug prevention are emphasized or complete other courses
where substance abuse and drug prevention are discouraged. Drug-sniffing dogs may be used
on school premises at any time, whether on a comprehensive or random basis, without prior
notice. The school also has the right to remove from school premises or school-sponsored
events any students or student guests who are found to possess illegal drugs.
In addition, as a condition of continued attendance at SLS, any student suspected of drug

involvement may be required to take a drug test [e.g. breathalyzer, urine sample analysis].
Depending on the circumstances, failing a drug test or refusing to take a drug test may result in
expulsion.
SERIOUS CODE VIOLATIONS
Any student involved in the following will be subject to appropriate disciplinary action, which
could include immediate expulsion. Illegal activity of any type will not be tolerated and may
result in notification of law enforcement and other outside authorities if deemed necessary.
Misrepresentation by a student directly or indirectly of Saint Louis School at any time is a
serious violation and is cause for immediate expulsion.
Although each violation will be administered independently, the following procedures will apply
in all cases:
21
 Parent(s)/Guardian(s) will be notified promptly after necessary information has been
gathered; Parent(s)/Guardian(s) may be required to meet with the School Principal.
 If deemed appropriate, administrative review may be requested.
 Illegal activity of any type will not be tolerated and may be cause for immediate expulsion
and police intervention.
HARASSMENT/BULLYING
SLS affirms the Christian dignity of everyone in the SLS ‘ohana (students, faculty, and staff).
Harassment/Bullying is unacceptable conduct that is severe, pervasive, and deliberate.
Harassment/Bullying occurs when an individual is subjected to treatment in the school
environment which is hostile, offensive, or intimidating. Harassment/Bullying of anyone by a
student, faculty or staff is prohibited and will not be tolerated and is subject to immediate
disciplinary action. It is SLS policy to provide an environment in which all students, faculty, and
staff are treated with respect and dignity.
 Verbal Harassment: Any language that is malicious or disrespectful to others will not be
tolerated at any time whether it is directed at a teacher, staff or another student. These
include derogatory comments/jokes; profanity; demeaning comments, statements,
slurs, anecdotes, epithets; threatening and/or offensive words directed toward another
person.
 Written Harassment: Letters, flyers, notes, invitations, displaying of sexually suggestive

objects, drawings, pictures, cartoons or posters. Anything written [or its replica] which
can be deemed inappropriate, suggestive, or obscene.
 Physical Harassment/Hazing: Any gesture(s) that may be deemed as inappropriate or

improper conduct. Unwanted, unwelcome, unkind, immoral and/or unlawful physical
touching or contact of another person, deliberate impeding or blocking of movements,
assault or any intimidating interference with normal work or movements or forcing
another to perform humiliating or otherwise unnecessary tasks.
 Cyber Harassment/Bullying: Any electronically transmitted acts, (i.e., Internet or

wireless hand-held device) that a student has exhibited toward another SLS student or
SLS employee which causes mental or physical harm to the other student(s) or
employee and is sufficiently severe, persistent, or pervasive, that it creates an
intimidating, threatening, or abusive educational environment.
 Sexual Harassment: Including, but not limited to, unwelcome sexual advances, requests
for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical contact of a sexual nature. Also,
possession of indecent pictures, videos, books, or objects, including sexting of any type.
THREATS/ASSAULT/FIGHTING: Threatening or assaulting another student or anyone in an

authoritative position (any school personnel), including implied threats, veiled threats, or
statements that incite fear or intimidation will not be tolerated. Fighting is unacceptable
behavior. Conflicts should be resolved peacefully by seeking peer mediation to allow for
22
mutual discussion/agreement. Seeking a counselor, mentor, coach, teacher, or any adult whom
the student trusts will assist in providing solutions to the dispute/conflict. Students involved in
a physical conflict will be held accountable for their actions during and precipitating the
altercation and severe disciplinary action will be taken accordingly, which may include
immediate expulsion. The police will be informed of serious assaults.
WEAPONS/DANGEROUS ITEMS: Students, while on campus or at any school function or event,

or en route to and from any school or school event, may not possess a weapon, or possess any
item replicating a weapon (e.g. toy gun, prop knife), or attempt/use any item as a weapon.
Possession of any item that could be deemed as dangerous [lighters, matches, tools, etc.] must
be directly related to a class or school event and must have received prior clearance from
school Administration.
THEFT: Intentionally and/or fraudulently taking personal property of another without consent
with the intent of personal use of the item, or to withhold an item from use or possession by its
rightful owner, or to transfer an item to a third party whether that party is aware, unaware,
willing, or unwilling is prohibited. A student in possession of property that is not his will be
investigated for theft. Witnessing or being aware of a theft and failing to report it to school
personnel may be interpreted as the assistance of theft. Found items should be taken to the
School Principal’s office immediately or given to the nearest appropriate school personnel.
With reasonable suspicion, the Administration has the right to search any student, his
belongings, his locker or his automobile parked on campus.
INSUBORDINATION: Ignoring, disrespecting, and/or defying faculty or staff members after

reasonable instructions have been given, including becoming argumentative and/or
confrontational with any teacher or staff member especially when it takes away from assigned
class time. Students are instead encouraged to defer for the immediate moment to
teachers/staff members when a situation becomes a dispute/conflict, and to clarify any matters
at a later, more suitable time, preferably with the involvement of an adult advocate [e.g.
counselor, etc].
ACADEMIC DISHONESTY: Includes lying, providing misleading information, obtaining and/or

giving unauthorized assistance on assigned work, forgery, plagiarism, fraud, any violation of a
testing procedure, and/or conspiracy or assistance in any of the aforementioned.
VANDALISM: Any type of willful damage to a property [including graffiti] or property belonging
to the school or another person, whether at Saint Louis School or at another school will not be
tolerated. Any student found guilty of vandalism may be liable for financial restitution to those
victimized and/or subject to expulsion from Saint Louis School.
GAMBLING: Gambling [or any activity that could be deemed as gambling or related to
gambling] is not allowed on campus. Money and/or items involved in gambling will be
confiscated. Parents will be called to the school for a conference and to retrieve any
money/items confiscated.
23
OFF-LIMITS AREAS: Any non-SLS area, to include athletic facilities during non-instructional
periods [before and after school, recess and lunch, as well as weekends and non-school days]
unless accompanied or supervised by authorized school personnel.
Other examples of off-limits areas include [but are not limited to] the parking structure, Third
Road, the Clarence T C Ching Learning & Technology Center, the Regency Park condominiums,
the open basketball court, the oval, and all Chaminade/non-Saint Louis facilities.
Other prohibited activities/items on campus:
 Electronic devices seen, heard, or used to include: phones, laptops, music players, handheld
video games/players, etc.

Students are NOT allowed to carry prescription or over-the-counter drugs/medication on
their person while on campus or attending school sponsored activities.
 Only prescription medication can be brought to school and must be

stored in the Health Room or secure location. No over-the-counter
24
medication is allowed, unless a doctor’s written authorization is
submitted.
Other behaviors not in compliance with Characteristics of a Saint Louis Man and
Characteristics of Marianist Education as determined by faculty, staff or administration.
REFERRAL OF DISCIPLINARY ISSUES
In cases of minor infractions or behavior disturbances, teachers and administrators may use
educational means of corrective action (e.g., warn, reprove, counsel, issue detentions, inform
parents, etc.). Only when it is clear that the faculty/staff member cannot handle the situation
alone should cases be referred to either the School Principal. This includes behaviors outlined in
the Serious Code Violation section and/or repeated minor offenses.
COMMON DISCIPLINARY ACTIONS
IN-SCHOOL/AFTER SCHOOL DETENTION

Students issued a detention as a disciplinary action for violating school rules must report to the
designated area at the designated time as directed by the School Principal, on time and in the
proper designated uniform. Any and all detentions supersede all other school activities during
the time of the detention: academic, athletic, extra-curricular or otherwise. A student must
attend any detention regardless if the student has any other school related activity scheduled
concurrently. Failure to show for any school detention will incur further disciplinary action.
Formal Attire
A student who has been issued a dress code violation may be required to wear formal dress
during an additional day of the week besides Thursday.
SATURDAY DETENTION
A student who has been issued a Saturday detention as a disciplinary action for violating a
school rule must report to the designated area on time and in the designated school uniform. A
student must attend his Saturday detention regardless if the student has an extracurricular
activity scheduled on the date and time of his Saturday detention. Failure to attend will further
escalate consequences for the student.
BEHAVIORAL SUSPENSIONS
Students may be suspended from school for a serious violation or repeated minor violations.
There are two types of suspensions:
1. Out-of-School Suspension [OSS]

2. In-School Suspension [ISS]
25
Each type is assigned on a case-by-case basis, with severity and/or accumulation of incident[s]
taken into consideration. With both types of suspensions, student is not able to attend classes.
Further, his teachers are NOT REQUIRED to give special consideration to make up any of the
missed assignments or content for any credit, full or partial, except for scheduled quizzes,
test/exams, and projects. It is the responsibility of the student to speak with his teacher to find
out what work was missed and if credit is still possible. Students who are suspended will not
participate in all extracurricular competitions or performances for the duration of one week
from the time of suspension not to exceed one competition and or performance for each
suspension and activity (students may still attend practice provided it is not on the actual date
of suspension). For example, students involved in two different extracurricular activities that
have more than one performance/completion during the week will miss one performance and
one competition.
DISCIPLINARY PROBATION (Contract)

Students are placed on Disciplinary Probation through a contractual agreement as a result of
serious/repeated behavior code violations. Disciplinary Probation is issued by the School
Principal.
The contract will:
 Outline the unacceptable behavior,
 Outline what corrective action(s) must be taken,
 Indicate timeline to correct behavior in question, and
 Define the terms of the student’s probation.
When a student is placed on Disciplinary Probation, both the student and his parents/guardians
will be required sign a contract with the School.
The length of the period of probation may vary depending on the history of infractions and
seriousness of the situation. Students on Disciplinary Probation may lose the privilege of
holding elected office, participate in extracurricular activities, participate in school sponsored
activities, or receive academic or athletic awards. Being placed on Disciplinary Probation may
seriously jeopardize the student’s future at Saint Louis School unless he demonstrates
immediate improvement in behavior.
Expulsion Appeal: The parent[s]/guardian[s] of any expelled student may appeal in writing
directly to the Head of School ONLY if new information can be provided. The appeal must be
made in writing within 48 hours from the date of the original ruling. (New information may
be any information not included in the student investigation/file that has not been already
reviewed and weighed by the administration during the expulsion decision)
26
ATTENDANCE AND PUNCTUALITY
Saint Louis emphasizes the importance of classroom instruction in order to achieve high
academic standards. As a result, students are expected to attend all classes and be in their
scheduled classrooms when class begins. Students will be marked absent when they arrive to
class more than 15 minutes after class has started. Without proper documentation, the student
will be given an unexcused absence.
UNEXCUSED ABSENCES
An unexcused absence may result in credit being withheld and/or not being able to participate
in an extracurricular activity or sport that day. If a student receives an unexcused absence on
the last school day of the week [or before a non-school day] on which an athletic or
extracurricular activity is scheduled, the student may be prohibited from participating in that
activity.
Students must attend any tutorial as required by a teacher, counselor or parent. In addition,
homeroom and/or assemblies are essential for a complete educational experience and,
therefore, are a mandatory part of the school day. An unexcused absence or tardy to any of
these (tutorial, homeroom, and assemblies) will result in appropriate disciplinary action. In
addition, any form of organized truancy will be categorized as insubordination [see SERIOUS
VIOLATIONS] and disciplinary action will be taken accordingly.
Medical, dental, driver’s license appointments, club sports/ activities and other family
commitments should be arranged during non-school hours. Missed school days due to these
types of personal appointments are unexcused unless prior arrangements have been approved
by Administration.
A student claiming illness or injury, and who is absent from homeroom, is not expected to
attend school that day. If the student comes to school later that day, he must check in at the
Attendance office and produce a doctor’s note indicating that he is well enough and cleared to
attend school. All students arriving later in the day due to illness or injury must check in by
12:00 pm with a doctor’s note in order to participate in extracurricular activities that day. Any
student sent home due to illness/injury during the school day may not participate in any
extracurricular activities that day unless cleared by doctor and administration.
REPORTING ABSENCES OR TARDIES

If a student’s parent(s)/guardian(s) will be away from home for an extended period of time, the
Health Room/Attendance Office should be notified as to who will be responsible for the student
during the parent(s)/guardian(s) absence. It is vital to keep the Health Room/Attendance Office
apprised of any changes in telephone numbers, email or addresses in the event that a parent
needs to be contacted. When a student is absent or tardy, a parent or guardian will follow the
procedures below. Failure to follow these procedures may result in a disciplinary action for the
student.
 Call (739-4830), fax (739-4834), or email the Health Room/Attendance Office each
morning that the student will be absent or tardy from school no later than 9:00 am
27
 Absences of three consecutive school days or greater will require a medical note or
administrative approval.
 Homework requests may be directed to individual teachers via e-mail, Family Link or by
phone. Responsibility for recouping all work that was assigned during an absence rests
with the student. See each teacher’s syllabus/Family Link for homework and absentee
make-up work procedures.
FAMILY VACATIONS AND PERSONAL LEAVE OF ABSENCE

Parents are strongly encouraged to schedule family vacations during the summer months or
during other school vacation periods. When this is not possible, the student must receive
written clearance from administration at least two weeks prior to the anticipated absence.
Parents and students must be aware that the student bears full responsibility for addressing
missed assignments, tests, homework in a timely manner. The administration reserves the right
to not excuse the individual student based on academic standing, behavioral record, or other
reasons.
LEAVING CAMPUS
If a student must leave campus during the school day for a specific reason he is required to take
a note written and signed by a parent or guardian to the Health Room/Attendance Office
before classes begin. An Excused Absence Pass will be issued at the Health Room/Attendance
Office. Students leaving within the school day must be picked up and/or signed out by a legal
parent/guardian. When the student returns to school, he must obtain a readmit slip from the
Health Room/Attendance Office. Failure to follow this procedure may result in a disciplinary
action.
EXCESSIVE ABSENCES/TARDIES [tracked quarterly]
Any student who accumulates a sum of five [5] non-school related absences per class per
quarter may be withdrawn from the course with a grade of WF (Withdrawn and Failed) and
forfeit extracurricular participation [including athletics, club activities, fieldtrips etc.], and/or
undergo a comprehensive Administrative File Review. Administration reserves the right to
require official documentation clearing a student of repeated absences (e.g. Doctors note).
A student who accumulates a sum of ten [10] tardies in the current quarter [whether excused
or unexcused] among all classes, including homeroom, per quarter will result in one week [7
calendar days] of ineligibility from extra-curricular activities starting the subsequent school
week (not to exceed one event in each activity); students not involved in any extra-curricular
activities will be assigned a Saturday Detention. After the next three tardies in the same
quarter, it will again result in the aforementioned disciplinary process. Students who are tardy
thereafter in the same quarter will undergo an administrative review and may be subject to
further disciplinary action, which may include dismissal.
28
GROOMING/DRESS CODE
Students must meet our dress code and grooming expectations in order to be eligible for SLS
academics/extra-curricular activities/sponsored events. The SLS dress/grooming code is a
cornerstone of our educational model and stands to promote self-discipline and self-awareness.
Students referred for dress (no uniform, no shoes, no belt, no socks, etc.) or grooming
(prohibited haircuts and/or facial hair) infractions may be withheld from academics and/or
extra-curricular activities and/or sponsored events until a parent/guardian is able to ensure the
student is in compliance. This may require parents/guardians to drop off necessary items or
pick the student up from school/activity/event. Students withheld from classes for dress
infractions will receive an “Unexcused Absence” for all missed classes. Dress code infractions
that do not require removal from class will result in an extra day of formal attire during the
week.
 Hair is to be combed neatly and in its natural color, clear of the shirt collar, eyebrows, and
ears and should not exceed 3 inches in length at any point. Eyebrow hair is to be in its
natural color and without distracting cuts as interpreted by SLS administration. Sideburns
may not extend below the bottom of the ear. Hairstyles such as undercuts, cropping,
tracks, uneven cuts/styles [e.g. tails, Mohawks, Faux/Fro-hawks, Hi-tops and/or similar
cut/styles], braiding, or any style deemed as distracting or outlandish are not acceptable.
 The face and neck must be clean shaven and without piercings. Piercing ornaments of any
type, to include ear/tongue spacers are prohibited as well as tape covering piercings.
Fingernails should be trimmed and clean, and free of any type of application. Deodorant is
to be worn.
 Exposed tattoo(s) are not acceptable. Also, any application to oneself or others to achieve a
similar effect is prohibited. Student must conceal tattoo appropriately using proper dress
code items, as apparel of any type not specified in the dress code is prohibited.
 Any additional accessory [ies] or ornament[s] not specified in the dress code, or deemed
distracting or inappropriate [e.g., headwear such as caps/bandanas/hairnets, long or large
chains, or any observable attachment hanging from a belt loop or pocket, makeup and/or
any application of such without sufficient reason, gloves, sweatpants, bracelets, sunglasses]
may not be worn/utilized while in uniform on campus or at school functions. Improper
items may be confiscated if worn.
The Administration reserves the right to determine the appropriateness of clothing apparel and
grooming
29
Students are expected to dress in proper attire both on campus and while traveling to and from
school, accompanied with a well-groomed and clean appearance. The result is a positive image
of the school to the community, as well as a student’s self-statement of the priority and
importance of his school and the purpose therein.
While understanding and respecting each student’s individuality and their expressions, the
dress code is structured to develop discipline and habits that serve to prepare students for
success beyond Saint Louis, encouraging them to find better ways of expression through verbal
or written communication, as well as through their personality and character.
TYPES OF STUDENT DRESS
There are three types of Dress Code: ALL REQUIRE STUDENT’S ID TO BE ON HIS PERSON. All
apparel is to be in presentable condition.
 Regular: Every day except Thursday.

 Formal: Thursday Requirement [may be worn any day].
 Casual: When announced.

DRESS CODE ON FIELDTRIPS/OFF CAMPUS EVENTS
As students represent the school, they must follow the dress code when they are on any school
related event. If a student is with a team but not in team uniform, he must be dressed in
formal attire (Thursday dress attire, see Formal Dress Code). The School Principal must approve
any exception to this rule in advance.
E.g. If a student is with a team and serving in an official capacity, he must be identifiable
as a Saint Louis student and dressed appropriately in attire approved by the school.
31
SAINT LOUIS DANCES AND ACTIVITIES
As a single gender school committed to the overall development of our students, Saint Louis
School hosts the Junior and Senior proms and the Crusader Ball to allow our students the

ATHLETICS
Athletics is an important aspect to education that Saint Louis School utilizes to help young men
develop into responsible adults. As a school in the Marianist tradition, we build on and use
insights of Father William Joseph Chaminade to foster an atmosphere that challenges the young
man to move beyond what he perceives as his limitations.
Winning is an objective but not an end to itself. The process of winning, which includes the
preparation and desire to win can be used as powerful tools to teach and incorporate
important values for the development of young people. The following are the Characteristics of
Marianist Education that are used as a guide to determine and explain the various duties of a
coach at Saint Louis School in our continued effort to develop the complete Christian student.
CHARACTERISTICS OF MARIANIST EDUCATION AND FORMATION OF FAITH
Saint Louis coaches should do the following:
1. Encourage and incorporate prayer into the daily routines of their practices and games.
Each home contest should begin with a prayer where appropriate.
2. Demonstrate how virtue is practiced in sport by establishing expectations of
accountability, hard work, and unselfishness. This includes the establishment and
enforcement of fair and consistent team rules that require accountability of the student
and has the expectation of responsibility to his team.
3. Stimulate the development of personal values by encouraging and supporting
participation of the student in the religious and service activities of the school, his
parish, and his community.
4. Develop in the student the ability to be inner-directed by developing confidence of the
athlete in his conscience to guide him to make good decisions.
5. Be positive and help develop this confidence by making sure each student knows and
understands his role on the team.
PROVIDE AN INTEGRAL QUALITY EDUCATION
1. Create a positive learning atmosphere by recognizing outstanding performance,

achievements, and significant improvements by the student both on and off the field.
37
2. Teach time-management skills by helping the student understand and fulfill their
responsibilities to the team, while balancing their responsibility to sports, academics,
family life, and outside activities.
3. Develop ownership of team goals by soliciting input from the student, both when
establishing team goals and evaluating them during the season.

condition of equipment and facilities and by reporting any unsafe situations to the
athletic administration.
8. Encourage, monitor, and support the students’ academic performances.
EDUCATE FOR ADAPTATION AND CHANGE
1. Educate the student to accept and respect differences in our pluralistic society by
modeling acceptance of differences in the expressions and characteristics of others.
2. Encourage the appreciation of others by creating situations in practices where
homogenous groups are broken up and students who normally do not work together
have an opportunity to do so.
3. Be aware of “cliques” on the team that are exclusive and non-inclusive of others.
4. Educate self and other coaches in the program to the latest coaching techniques and
strategies of the sport. Encourage attendance at clinics and continued education and
training in sport.
5. Listen to suggestions of students and other coaches. If coaches incorporate any of their
suggestions, make sure that they are recognized and thanked for their valuable input
and improvement of your program.
6. Handle both wins and losses with humility. Teach the students to accept and deal
appropriately with special victories and difficult losses. Make sure that recognition is
given to all those who have contributed to the success of the team.
EDUCATE IN FAMILY SPIRIT
1. Foster a diverse coaching staff and team and encourage student to understand their
own distinctive talents and heritage so that they can better appreciate those of others.
38

demand respect and appreciation of each individual.
3. Emphasize family and social awareness by planning and supervising team-bonding
experience through projects that are beneficial to others.
4. Create a cooperative atmosphere by giving each team member a responsibility.
5. Constantly talk about unity and the importance of each player fulfilling his responsibility
and role on the team.
6. Encourage players to support each other in practices and games and to be especially
sensitive in difficult times. Do not tolerate any form of hazing, public arguments,

else who provides support for your program. Make sure the student athletes know and
appreciate their contribution.
8. Handle all individual disagreements confidentially and always respect the privacy of
each individual.
9. Develop trust by soliciting input from the students during the season and especially at
the end of the year.
10. Make sure the awards programs recognizes in a positive manner all those who have
contributed to the success of the team. Make it a special occasion for the seniors, many
of whom have contributed a significant portion of their high school careers to the sport
and the program.
EDUCATE FOR SERVICE, JUSTICE, AND PEACE
1. Demonstrate and expect respect for the individual personality and the rights of others.
Students should address coaches and adults appropriately, as well as address each
other respectfully at all times.
2. Refuse to tolerate hazing at all times.

respect for others by stopping and dealing immediately with any cursing or other

the mission and philosophy of Saint Louis School
4 The athletic administration reserves the right to withdraw any student from the athletic

HAZING POLICY
Hazing and initiations are expressly prohibited by any student on an athletic team at any level
of competition.
1. Hazing in any form or manner is not acceptable behavior at Saint Louis School. This
policy exists for the protection, well-being, dignity and safety of students. Often,
those at risk of being victims of action or attitude towards hazing are those
individuals (underclassmen, freshmen, initiates, novices) who may be less able to
stand up to defend or protect themselves from harm and humiliation. Hazing is a
form of harassment, which may also involve sexual activity including the use of
power and force.
2. Hazing is any intentional action taken, a situation created, or any conduct or manner
of initiation into any school organization, club or team, which denies a person
his/her individual rights or results in mental or physical embarrassment, harassment,
humiliation, anguish or endangerment, whether occurring on private property or in
public, regardless if previous consent was implied.”
3. Any actions that violate anti-hazing laws or statutes in the State of Hawaii
necessitate familiarity of school officials with pertinent civil and criminal laws at the
local, state, and federal levels. The recognition of potential civil rights violations,
hate crimes and other criminal acts may be properly addressed. Often, hazing can
be closely associated to statutes and school policies addressing sexual harassment,
assault and battery.
44
4. Any person who has been a victim or who knows of a possible incident that may be
defined as hazing and prohibited by the school must report it to the school
administration. This includes students, coaches, parents and school personnel.
a. The school personnel is responsible for investigating all allegations of hazing
and to determine what took place, who was involved and to what degree
school rules were violated. There may be cases in which local law
enforcement agencies will become involved in the process. The school will
cooperate fully in reporting incidents that involve criminal activities or
assault during the hazing incident.
CONDUCT OF THE SAINT LOUIS COACH

ATTENDANCE
A student selected as a member of a Saint Louis athletic team is expected to attend every
practice and game of his team. We believe that attendance at practice and games are an
essential part of the growth of the student and his development and responsibility as a team
member.
1. Illness: A student may not participate in a practice or game on any day that he misses
school due to illness.
2. School Attendance: A student’s first responsibility is to attend his daily classes; if he
misses a class or assembly that has not been cleared by the school administration, it will
be addressed as an unexcused absence/cut; he is not to participate in any sport event
that day. If a student has missed school the last day of the week or before a non-school
day on which an athletic event is scheduled, the student must get the approval to
participate in the athletic event from the Athletic Director. For example: If a student
misses his classes on Friday due to an illness and there is a game scheduled on Saturday,
he must get approval from the athletic director through his coach to play in the game.
46

SAINT LOUIS SCHOOL ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT
PARENT/COACH COMMUNICATION
RELATIONSHIP
Both parenting and coaching can be difficult at times. By understanding each other’s position,
we are better able to understand the actions of the other and provide the greatest benefit to
young people. As a parent, when your son is involved in our program, you have the right to
know what expectations have been set for your son. This is best accomplished with clear
communication among the Athletic Department, coaches, and parents.
All parents love their sons and want them to have a positive athletic experience. The goal of
our athletic program is to provide each individual the opportunity to grow and develop as an
athlete and person.
COMMUNICATION YOU SHOULD EXPECT FROM THE SAINT LOUIS ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT
1. A Student/Parent Handbook for Athletics, which explains the philosophy and policies of
the Saint Louis Athletic Program.
2. Required Forms that must be completed by the parents and athletes to allow
participation in our athletic program.
3. Help in answering any parent questions or concerns about the Athletic Department
policies.
COMMUNICATION YOU SHOULD EXPECT FROM YOUR SON’S COACH
1. Philosophy of the coach

2. Team expectations
3. Location and times of practices and games.
4. Team Requirements, i.e. special equipment, off-season conditioning, etc.
5. Procedures for absences, tardies, injuries, or illness.
COMMUNICATION COACHES EXPECT FROM PARENTS

2. Notification of any schedule conflicts in advance
3. Specific concern regarding a coaches philosophy and/ or expectations
APPROPRIATE CONCERNS TO DISCUSS WITH COACHES
1. The mental, emotional, and physical treatment of your son.

2. Ways to help your son improve and develop as an athlete and person
3. Concerns about your son’s behavior and/or attitude
49
ISSUES NOT APPROPRIATE TO DISCUSS WITH COACHES
1. Playing time
2. Team strategy
3. Play calling
4. Other students/athletes
THE NEXT STEP
If you or your son has appropriate questions or concerns, we encourage you to take the
following steps:
1. Encourage your son to talk candidly with his coach expressing his questions and
concerns at a time convenient to both your son and his coach.
2. As a parent, if you still have questions or concerns, you should contact the coach
personally and arrange a convenient time to talk.
3. If concerns are still unresolved, contact the athletic office to discuss the situation to
determine appropriate action.
*Any questions you have should be directed to the Athletic Director of Saint Louis School at
739-4855.
QUESTIONS ABOUT THE STANDARDS OF CONDUCT
Modification/Interpretation of the Standards of Conduct
The Athletic Director reserves the right to amend, suspend, or add any new rules or guidelines
to the aforementioned policies in consultation with the School Principal. Furthermore, the
Administration reserves the right to enforce standards of conduct and behavior not mentioned
in the foregoing policies.
TUITION AND FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Tuition Stabilization
Tuition stabilization is a safe way to protect your financial obligation and is required for all
parents who do not pay the full annual tuition by June 20th. Because the school's obligations
are for the full year, the school will not refund any tuition or cancel any unpaid obligations.
Therefore, parents are encouraged to take this insurance even if payment is made in full.
Benefits are paid based on medical, involuntary, or voluntary withdrawal for the remaining
unused days in the school year provided the student has attended more than 14 consecutive
days since the first day of school. For medical benefits, a medical certificate by a physician is
required and the disability must extend for 31 or more consecutive days. The claim form will be
issued by the Business Office once the withdrawal occurs.
50
Tuition Assistance
Saint Louis School has a Financial Aid program designed to support students who are unable to
meet the full cost of tuition. Financial aid awards are based on a family's designated financial
need. If awarded, students are expected to provide service to the school throughout the school
year as requested by administration. To apply for financial aid, parents must complete the
Tuition Aid Services (TADS) application form online with a processing fee to TADS. This
objective and confidential service provides the school with a list of families and an estimate of
each family's ability to contribute to tuition. Completion of the TADS form is mandatory for
consideration of tuition assistance by the designated deadline. Families must reapply for
financial aid yearly.
Financial Policies
 All payments must be made through TADS - our automated tuition management
company. After three instances of insufficient funds parents/guardians will be required
to immediately pay the balance due in cash in order for their son to remain at Saint Louis
School.
 The School reserves the right to dismiss students for delinquent tuition. The School will
take action when accounts become more than 30 days past due. Delinquent accounts
may not be able to sit for finals and may be dismissed before start of upcoming
semester.
 If dismissed or withdrawn, tuition stabilization charge will be processed and the
remainder will be sent to a collections agency. Parents/Guardians will pay all collection
fees in addition to any unpaid tuition.
 Students whose accounts are more than 30 days past due are ineligible to participate in
all extracurricular activities/events including all associated practices/rehearsals until
amounts owed are paid in full. Since class dues are also included within Saint Louis
School’s payment plans, the student will also be barred from participating in class
activities that are subsidized wholly or in part by class dues e.g. proms, Senior Luau,
graduations [MS and HS], etc.
 Parents/Guardians are required to settle any previous years' unpaid financial obligations
before a student is allowed to register for the next academic year.
 Students will not be able to start school if June & July payments have not been made.
 Any request for exceptions to these policies will be reviewed on a case by case basis by
the Head of School.
 Delinquent 8th grade and senior students will not be permitted to participate in
graduation ceremonies and seniors will not receive a diploma.
 Students receiving any tuition assistance who withdraw from Saint Louis School anytime
during the year may receive only a prorated amount of the aid.
 Financial assistance monies are never refunded to the family.
 All unpaid fines, and/or uniforms and/or equipment that are not returned upon
withdrawal will be billed to the parents/guardians.
 A 10% sibling tuition discount will be credited to the 2nd youngest child enrolled and a
15% sibling discount will be credited to the 3rd youngest child enrolled. The greater
discount applies to the lowest grade. Discount may be voided if account is not current.

COMPUTER AND TECHNOLOGY USE POLICY
Campus Technology
Saint Louis School offers students access to computers, cameras, and other electronic
equipment for educational purposes. Access to the equipment will be provided only to students
who agree to act in an ethical and responsible manner.
Students are responsible for appropriate behavior on the school's computers just as they are in
classrooms or anywhere on campus. Communications on computer systems are often public in
nature. General school rules for behavior and communications apply. In addition, it is expected
that users will comply with specific rules established by the Administration. The use of the
equipment is a privilege, not a right, and will be revoked if abused. The student is personally
responsible for his actions in accessing and utilizing the school's computer resources. Students
are advised never to access, keep, or send anything that would violate the terms of the school’s
code of conduct policy.
Guidelines
System integrity: Students must ask before making any changes to settings on a computer or
electronic device. Students should never download or install any software onto school
equipment without prior written permission from the school Technology Coordinator. Students

information that is entered in to, displayed upon, stored on, or any attached device, is the
property of the school unless a specific intellectual rights document has been signed by the
appropriate school administrator. This also includes all data on any computer or electronic
device attached to any of the school’s networks. Any electronic device brought onto campus is
subject to inspection at any time. The Administration may review communications to maintain
system integrity and will insure that students are using the system responsibly. Students may
not access an electronic data file or folder that belongs to someone else without their
permission. Data file sharing is at the risk of each property owner. External data storage devices
such as thumb drives must have the consent of the school and/or property owner prior to file
and data sharing.
